    Well spotted!

    And the best part imho he is just started coming out of his shell, given more PT and more games he'll do a lot of great stuff we now think he cant even do , based on his limited role and OT on this team and the fact that is this very beginning.

    Is engine is always revving
    He is getting better.
    He will be a good contributor in the Playoffs
    The announcers point out how he and Harrell have championship experience in College

    Maybe it is the maturity that is giving them the better feel of the game

    Sam Dekker doesn't have an engine. He has a motor. A high motor.

    Not only that, but those guys are TOUGH.

    It was great seeing Montrezl stay in the game after getting smacked hard in the face in the Clips game yesterday.

    The energy and effort of dekker and Harrell are truly impressive. They can change games with that

    ryno's shot is much better than sam's...so people advocating in the game threads that we should part ways with ryno when he has an off night are misguided.

    sam brings energy, hustle, and athleticism. we don't have to just have one of the two.

    tired of people bashing players that play hard and hustle on this team, regardless if their shot is not falling.

    Our bench was a problem last year, this year it is a strength due to Dekker, Harrell and mostly Gordon.

    Engine uses fuel. Motor uses electricity. When you say, "He's on fire!" it's probably the engine not the motor.

    I would love to see him drive the lane by his own once in a while especially in games where we blow the opponents out

    "In the body, thermal energy helps us to maintain a constant body temperature, mechanical energy helps us to move, and electrical energy sends nerve impulses and fires signals to and from our brains. Energy is stored in foods and in the body as chemical energy."

    I think you're both right. Electricity fires all over the place.

    I'd like to hear announcers be more accurate in their statements instead of using the traditional creative syntaxes. So like, "Dekker's chemical energy is off the charts right now. He's converting that stored energy to mechanical energy at a very high level. He must have eaten some very simple carbohydrates before beginning his journey through this 48 minute contest. I bet DeAndre Jordan ate a steak with fried potatoes. He just could not convert his stored chemical energy fast enough to stop the potential energy that Dekker has just unlocked."

    That would be better, right?

    If you don't think electrical devices can catch on fire, just ask the folks at Samsung.

    I suspect that's why Dantoni plays the brew to teach others about energy and professionalism

    he's shooting like 26% from 3 the last 4 or 5 games..i think his form hasn't been very consistent lately..rushing shots or being off balanced
